Update: After writing the critical review below, I was immediately contacted by the developer who suggested a fix for the problem of disappearing tips. I deleted the app and then redownloaded it which restored all of the tips. Great customer service and a great app.I have been using and enjoying Tips & Tricks for almost a year. Today when I opened the app the Tricks were gone. There was just a blank screen. There does not seem to be a way to contact anyone at the developer and there is no support on their website. If they fix the problem and create some support, I'll update my review.

Hi – thanks for your feedback, and I'm glad you were enjoying the app for a long time before the tips suddenly disappeared! Apologies for that. The Tips section can occasionally fail to load when you first install the app – it's usually down to a poor internet connection but admittedly could be something our end.

Luckily it's an easy fix. You can restore the tips to their former glory by deleting the app from your Home Screen and downloading it again from the App Store. This will ensure you have a clean install of the latest version of the app and 99% of the time will fix the problem.

Also, if you ever need to contact us directly for support you can do so from the Settings > Contact us section of the app. Hope this helps! :-)

I often don't write reviews, but I know I like to look for and read reviews before downloading apps so I decided I should write something. I love this app, with so much information being on the internet and in apps it can be overwhelming. I like that it has so much information in one place, and is easy to find what I am looking for. I enjoy the push notifications. I love getting information on the free app of the week, love the many tips and tricks I have learned that are very helpful that I would not know about otherwise. I highly recommend this app.

My family makes fun of me for reading manuals & the like to make sure we get the most out of whatever we buy. Well they're not making fun of me anymore about my iPhone cause thanks to this app I've taught them a thing or two. If it weren't for this app my iPhone would double as a paperweight. I've learned so much from this app & truly enjoy being kept up to date on new apps, games & news. Thank you for thinking of us "technically challenged" people. This app rocks!!!!
